There were 422416 standard Code 65A Mustang coupes built and 0nly 55000 CodeB Luxury coupes, as presented here, built in 1966. This Mustang also has paint code V Emberglow which was only offered in the 1966 model year. It also is equipped with just about all the options offered in 66. The options include the following: *Power steering *Power drum brakes *Dealer installed AC (currently not functioning) *Very rare rally pack (includes tachometer & and clock) *Full lenght center console * 14X6 Style steel chrome wheels *Interior Decore Group, which includes Deluxe Pony seats,Special molded deluxe door panels, Wood grain steering wheel, Courtesy door lights, and pistol grip door handles. *Visibility Group, which includes inside day night rear view mirror, outside remote mirror, and 2 speed wipers. The door tag also shows this car came equipped from the factory with the following: *Paint code V........ Emberglow paint *Interior trim code 64....... Emberglow & Parchment *Engine code C.......289 V8 2V *Transmission code 6........ C4 3 speed dual range automatic * rear axle code 6.......280:1 Even though it appears as such, the C code 289 no longer resides under the hood. The factory engine has been upgraded to a 1993 Mustang 5.0 liter HO roller cam engine, however the 289 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, fuel pump, oil pan, intake manifold, and carburetor were retained. The larger 5.0 harmonic balancer and transmission flex plate had to be used for balance reasons. Also chrome try Y headers and Ford Duro Spark ignition with new distributor were installed. So you have the best of both worlds, better performance with the looks of the 289. This Mustang has a very nice straight rust free and bondo free body with nice fitting hood, doors, and trunk lid. Very good quality, better than factory, paint job is about 10 years old and still retains a very nice shine which looks better in person than pictures show. There are however some minor chips that have been touched up, and also some minor bubbling at the lower front corner of both doors, which I hear is very very common for these early Mustangs. The hood has a very minor dent in the center, but no broken paint. Center of the roof also has a paint cut about 1/2" long These blemishes are shown in the photos. None are objectionable enough, or even noticeable enough to detract from the general appearance of this beautiful Mustang. I also have about a half pint of correct color touch up paint that goes with car. All chrome and bright metal trim is very good. The back bumper is new. Side and back glass are original and very nice. Windshield appears to have been replaced. All rubber seals and weather strip is nice and soft and much of it appears to have been replaced. Tires are BFG 215/70X14", Rears are new, fronts are 80-90%. Wheels are in good shape with some wearing of the chrome. Center caps are new. Interior is fabulous with no tears, splits, or holes. Carpeting is new. The instrument panel, gages, and dash pad and door panels are very nice. Headliner and sun visors are nice with no staining or tears. Has aftermarket radio with cassette. Rally pack tachometer works, but reads high. Clock not working. Gas gage has some issues that I am trying to correct and might or might not work properly at auction end. Center console is very nice with new wood grain inserts. Floors, frame rails and undercarriage are solid with no rust. Front suspension seems nice and tight. Exhaust system is tight with no leaks. The transmission, all components of the power steering system, and most components of the power brake system were all rebuilt or replaced very recently. Also the alternator, water pump, and starter recently replaced. Optima Red top battery installed in 6-11 This Mustang runs and drives as good as it looks. It is tight with no rattles. The 5.0 liter engine provides good torque for responsive takeoffs. The transmission shifts smoothly with no hesitation, and passing gear works as it should. The odometer shows 61700 miles. No idea if this is original or not. As pictures show the AC compressor is not currently installed, but the original compressor and all brackets will be included with the car. All other under hood AC components such as condenser coil, dryer, hoses, and wiring are still installed on the car. I have described this vehicle as I see it, and although unintentional I might have missed something in the description, so please ask specific questions you need answered. I do truly believe it is very nice for a 47 year old car and something anyone would be proud to own and drive to local shows, however it is being offered in AS IS condition with no warranty expressed or implied. It is the buyer's responsibility to read complete description, view all pictures, ask questions, have a third party inspection, or best of all make his or her personal inspection to confirm condition, BEFORE PLACING WINNING BID, ( NOT AFTER!!!!!)
